    Thursday 28th August,

    We were in New Plymouth, so drove out to Waitara to check on the progress of the bus.
    Yeeha!
    The body is painted (in School Bus Yellow,) but the ceiling and rubbing strips have yet to be done. (Rubbing strips in black, which should 'break' the colour a bit.)
    Kurt Broker, the fella doing the job, has promised it for next week.

    Then . . . into New Plymouth to get the crown wheel and pinion changed to a higher ratio, which shouldn't take more than a couple of days, as we've got the new one sitting waiting.

    Then to Okato, where our pet electrician and upholsterer are both based.
    The upholstery is not really any great deal, but the wiring may take a bit of time, although we've got everything we can think of that we're going to need sitting ready and waiting.

    Fingers crossed!

    And eyes.

    And toes.

    And legs.

    I mean; what can go wrong?
